I would really like to see a "Burst" option that fires like 15 shots VERY fast for something like jumping out of transports and laying cover fire...

Yeah, it's called the support kit.

I then said that the standard E-11 is capable of this higher rate of fire, but is prone to overheating when it uses it. So it tends not to get used.

That said, we may well add an overheating feature to the weapon, after all if it fires at a rate that much faster even with advanced cooling systems it's bound to overheat at some point. I think the idea is that if you tried to use the higher rate of fire with a standard E-11 it would overheat and burn out it's systems a lot quicker than with the supercooled E-11b.

It's all a case of balancing between Star Wars lore, and the needs of balanced gameplay I guess.

According to lore it has an advanced cooling system that allows for the higher rate of fire...but this firing mode can't be used much due to overheating problems.

Um, what? That doesn't make sense. You just said it has an advanced cooling system, yet it overheats.

According to lore it has an advanced cooling system that allows for the higher rate of fire that apparrently the standard E-11 is capable of too, but this firing mode can't be used much due to overheating problems.

The result is that the E-11b is a much more expensive peice of kit which would explain why they aren't in wide circulation.

Makes more sense your way Ulversial.

anyways, one has faster rate of fire (leads to more damage) but has more spread and faster overheating, whereas the other one is slower but more accurate and not as prone to overheat.

if I'm wrong some lore guy please poke me.
